UEFI Download Tool is a Tool that will find any UEFI updates for your desktop motherboard/laptop. Works for all CPU Sockets and chipsets. Supported Motherboard Manufacturers: ASUS, ASRock, MSI, Gigabyte, Dell, Alienware.
I use PhantomJS as a webparser for many things so first time running this, you may get a windows firewall message asking you to allow it. You can safely allow this as it is what i use to parse websites.
The Version Control Feature:
The UEFI Update Tab:
The Program Update Tab:
The Preferences Tab:
The About Tab:
The Extras Tab:
Command line arguments are present to help you get out of any bad things that may occur.
Force Update Argument
This will force an update to the latest version, incase you cannot launch the program to update from an app breaking bug, when i fix the issue you could update this way.
Reset Settings Argument
This is useful for whenever your settings gets messed up and the program will not launch for whatever reason.
It should work with all LGA 1150 Boards from ASUS. This program requires three dll’s that are needed for certain tasks. They are auto extracted to the folder is you don’t have them. Check to see if you have the three dll’s in the same folder as program.
Also make sure you are running this program as admin, it needs admin, it should ask you to run as admin already how it is setup. if you have UAC turned on in window.
Oh and also the check for updates tab is for the program its self and any updates i push out. The UEFI Updater tab is for checking for your bios updates.
Its checking what bios version you have installed vs what asus’s server bring back for your board that is auto detected, and if you don’t have the latest bios update it will tell you there’s and update and you click the download update button. So yeah BIOS files pretty much. but if your’re up to date already then it’ll say you’re up to date.
Also apparently this is a major problem i didn’t see till now, i got a requesting board notification from someone who sent me a report cause their board company was not supported. They had ASUS, Problem was the company made their name ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC instead of ASUS, i am pushing out a update in a few minutes that fixes this problem for all asus users. sorry for inconvenience.
Also anyone looking to get the latest version of their BIOS anyways even if they are already on the latest update, go to Preferences > Spoof UEFI Version To 0 Option.
I know i have a bug with asus which was my fault, i was checking for asus instead of asus tech inc, update will be pushed out in a few minutes, go to check for updates tab to update program.
